Rectangular Block

Dugald

Why do blocks have to be square? Why can't they be rectangular? I decided to design a rectangular block and see what happens.

I started with a three by four grid and assumed the squares were 2"x2".

I arbitrarily drew this piecing and started to play with how the pieces were colored and then played with block settings.

Here are some of the results.

I think the idea of rectangular blocks is worth exploring some more.

Is anybody besides me having trouble using Blogger? Nothing does what it's supposed to. I have to trick it to make it do what I want. This has been going on for a long time, ever since Google took over. It's vey discouraging.
